Yikes! Louise Mensch tweeted on Friday that she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin murdered Andrew Breitbart back in 2012:
Breitbart and Russia are 100% linked. Bannon has been pushing Russia's line since Andrew Breitbart "died suddenly" https://t.co/kmx59OyGqm

Remember kids: just because someone is anti-Trump doesn't mean they don't believe in conspiracy theories. https://t.co/xp2YUr5QgO
